| 750588 | 2009-02-24 07:12:00 | Happen's to me sometimes too-When I connect from my ipod touch. So did IEPro/whatever work for you? |

| 750589 | 2009-02-24 07:20:00 | Thanks for the pointers. I downloaded to the desktop and followed the instructions on the laptop. 3 times I installed and all failed. Followed instructions on page to check for .dll files but no luck. Checked event logs but nothing out of normal. Cleared logs and rebooted, installed. Same result. Good thing is IE6 still works. |

| 750591 | 2009-02-24 07:32:00 | How did it not work? Installing should be simple. Your last resort is to block ads before it reaches the pc, but that could be difficult to set up.. |

| 750592 | 2009-02-24 07:49:00 | Instal is simple. When I launched IE the IE&pro icons did not appear on screen at all. IE6 screen was all there was. Nothing like what the instructions showed. So I followed instructions from IE7pro page on laptop. The reuired .dll's were nowhere to be found on my desktop PC. That should read IE7pro |

| 750593 | 2009-02-25 08:03:00 | Well I've downloaded IE7Pro and installed it. Latest ver. 2.4.5 released Feb 04 09 but had probs because the installation instructions are for an earlier level. Still requires some tuning but have already noticed improvement in load times on this site. I can't see the "e" icons that are supposed to be in top right and bottom right of screen and also have to change activex settings. Thanks to all of you for the help you gave. I will play around with it until I either break it or get it running better. Cheers |

| 750594 | 2009-02-25 21:43:00 | Speedy suggested I recently use Privoxy, it blocks the ads regardless of your browser, works brilliantly as it uses "logic" to determine what is an Ad and what isnt (So you dont have to spend time setting it up to block Ads). Highly recommended See here: pressf1.co.nz |

| 750595 | 2009-03-02 07:43:00 | Hi folks . After much downloading, installing, removing and trying other suggestions and still not satisfied with results I gave it a rest for a couple of days . I fixed a couple of machines that have been around for a while and took another look at the desktop PC . I was convinced that the fault lay with poorly written s/ware on the webpage, remember that this is (now was!) the only website where I had the problem . I had a long phonecall with a Tech friend who is still in the business . We both worked for the same company on the tech side of PCs since the early 80's . I am now retired from that company . We came to the conclusion that the fault was not on my PC so why should I change it for 1 website? My PC is now back to the state it was in before the problem arose . I logged on tonight and 'Lo and Behold' the website opens and a warning about activeX settings might not allow proper working . Everything looks okay so I can live with that . Pages change quickly, as they should . I would like to thank all who offered suggestions . Keep up the good work guys . . . . and guyesses of course . |
